Description

When parsing the Ruby output returned from Solr, if a numerical value has no value in the index, it causes an invalid Ruby hash to be returned. For instance:

 
 'response'=>{'numFound'=>1,'start'=>0,'maxScore'=>4.951244,'docs'=>[
	{
	 'subclass_t'=>'Protocol',
	 'pk_i'=>1,
	 'id'=>'Protocol:1',
	 'name_t'=>'Falcipain IC50',
	 'group_id_i'=>,
	 'score'=>4.951244}]
 }}

is not a valid hash because 'group_id_i' does not resolve to anything. It should resolve to nil:

 
 'response'=>{'numFound'=>1,'start'=>0,'maxScore'=>4.951244,'docs'=>[
	{
	 'subclass_t'=>'Protocol',
	 'pk_i'=>1,
	 'id'=>'Protocol:1',
	 'name_t'=>'Falcipain IC50',
	 'group_id_i'=>nil,
	 'score'=>4.951244}]
 }}
